Neither fob 1 or 2? Did this just happen all of a sudden?

Not really much you can do, other than having fobs tested and reprogrammed. Is the vehicle battery low on charge, also try inserting fob in the pocket that is in the center console pointing down and buttons forward. see if it starts. There is a service bulletin for a condition like this, and the Remote control door lock receiver might need replacement. Bulletin is #04-08-52-008A.
